Abstract

A method for removing SOx from a gas by using a compound alcohol-amine solution is provided. The compound alcohol-amine solution is made by mixing ethylene glycol and/or polyethylene glycol with hydroxyl and/or carboxyl organic compound having basic group containing nitrogen. The compound alcohol-amine solution is contacted with the gas containing SOx to absorb the SOx in the gas, wherein x=2 and/or 3. The compound alcohol-amine solution with absorbed SOx is regenerated by one or more of heating method, vacuum method, gas stripping method, ultrasonic method, microwave method, and radiation method to release by-products of sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide, and the regenerated compound alcohol-amine solution is recycled for use. This method can be used for removing SOx from flue gas, burning gas, coke-oven gas, synthesis waste gas from dyestuff plants, sewage gas from chemical fiber plants, and other industrial raw material gases or waste gases containing SOx.
